Valverde had to clean up a mess when he joined Barcelona so I wouldn't judge him after the first season. Alena will be part of the first team next season and Samper is bang average, nowhere near Barcelona level. I don't expect Valverde to be a youth developer though. He had to be at Bilbao but...

Mina is our 4th CB. How often do they play when the first three aren't injured or banned? How often did Vallejo play for Madrid this season? The only times he played were when 2 out of Ramos, Varane and Nacho were not in the squad or when Nacho had to play RB while Ramos or Varane were out...

I don't give a fuck about them, but I give a fuck about Leo.

I wouldn't start him and play him 25-30 minutes maximum. Messi starting the game will only create bad publicity in Argentina after missing both friendlies. He is the only reason they are part of the World Cup, but we all know how ungrateful Argentinians are.

Playing against Spain is the more attractive option though. They could face them at the World Cup too so this is the better test for Argentina and Messi. Messi said earlier this year that he understands it is better for him to rest every now and then.

Lucho's coaching career is still very short. Can't really compare these two. Neither a big fan of Lucho nor of Ancelotti.

The injury killed his career in Europe. He was great last season.

That's what I meant. Injuries apart, Vermaelen is more than just a 3rd CB. He replaced one of the best in the game without failure, did very well whenever he played. You pay 30M for Inigo Martinez these days for example.

Same mindset as Messi. Griezmann will fit into that team of winners.

A defender of his class and experience costs 30M in today's market so I can see why they consider to extend his contract.

He'd definitely do a better job than Emery. PSG would suit him much better than Chelsea.

Neuer is working hard to make it to the World Cup. However, would be a disgrace if Neuer was Germany's #1 at the World Cup after the season MAtS had while Neuer didn't play since September. Doubt he will be right away at the level he was before.

CMc-Y_QRHds Everything said about a potential comparison with Leo.

Dude, Barcelona extended the contracts of Messi, Piqué and Sergi Roberto which means they already receive a higher salary than before (at least Messi and Sergi). They also bought Dembélé, Coutinho, Paulinho and Semedo while losing high earners in Neymar and Mascherano. Umtiti will renew his...

I think out of Vidal, Denis and him Gomes most likely will make the cut.

Winning 3-0 vs Juve, Madrid and Chelsea. But yeah, result-driven. It is not black and white. There are more shades between attacking right into a trap and playing result-driven.

Yes, there will be another one. We'd better face Madrid there because I don't want those fuckers in a final. They're too lucky in those.

Agreed. Coach playing him on the wing killed his career at Tottenham. He is not a winger/right midfielder.

lol no Willian is 29yo and doesn't show up enough on a regular basis. I'm not a big fan of statistics but Coutinho has the same amount of goals and assists in less than a half games in PL this season. He is the Brazilian Angel Di Maria. On his day he is a beast (like Di Maria when P$G have...
